"They do possess that kind of power. The protective divine light I just shattered fused three different powers, and it shares the same origin as Chu Gan's power. So I'm certain there must be a strange connection between the four of them, allowing them to borrow each other's strength.
However, I don't know if their power is the same as mine, Xiao Le, able to ignore the formation and directly penetrate it.
Or maybe they had already arranged things between them and Silvermoon City, deliberately opening the door for them to make things easier, revealing the secret of the grand array, and letting them cheat as they pleased. Long Chen pondered for a moment and said.
He had just been surprised. He had been almost certain to kill Chu Gan, but his strike missed. Looking back now, the Chu family really was no pushover.
Given the Chu family's style, they would always plan before acting, so Long Chen's guess was pretty much certain. The four of them must have some way to link their strengths.
"If they really had that ability, why didn't they use it earlier? Why wait until Chu Gan is about to die before making a move? Lu Mingxuan asked in confusion.
"On one hand, the Chu family members are confident enough to believe Chu Gan has enough strength to protect himself.
On the other hand, I didn't give him that time either. By the time they noticed, it would be too late.
If my guess is correct, their combined force technique requires some time to prepare. So, when they realized I was about to kill Chu Gan, they could only save him hastily but couldn't reverse the disadvantage.
Also, the Chu family's trump card might very well be used to compete for the championship throne. Think about it—if their powers could unite and catch everyone off guard, anyone would suffer a huge loss. Long Chen said.
Luo Xue nodded and said, "Long Chen's analysis is very accurate. Based on what we know about the Chu family, this approach really fits their style." "
That's really sinister, but do they really think this is enough to win the championship?" Bai Shishi snorted coldly.
"The championship is just what they expect, but if they don't win, being able to kill the Luo family's strong warriors would have achieved their goal.
So I want Miss Luo Qing to give up this battle, because I almost killed Chu Gan, causing the Chu family to lose face and embarrass themselves in public. If you go into battle now, they will stop at nothing to kill you.
If it's one-on-one, if we lose, we're outmatched and have nothing to say. But if the other side has four people working together, fighting alone isn't worth it. Long Chen looked at Luo Qing and said.
Luo Qing smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, I understand. I'll follow Senior Brother Long Chen's instructions for everything." Previously
, Long Chen had told her to give up, which made her feel a bit conflicted, because she had to fight for the dignity of the Luo family, willing to die without regret. But after Long Chen explained it this way, she finally felt at ease.
Seeing Luo Qing agree to give up, Long Chen felt relieved. The Luo family disciples valued family honor more than their own lives, and he was just afraid Luo Qing would get stuck in a dead end.
"Don't worry, the Chu family members are just a bunch of clowns who can't even show their face. Dealing with them is only a matter of time, not a rush." Long Chen comforted her.
Soon, it was Luo Qing's turn to take the stage. Luo Qing stepped forward and immediately gave up, which surprised countless people in the viewing stands, as many knew about the relationship between the Luo and Chu families.
Especially with fewer contestants, those selling materials are eager to sell information about several generations of each person. Almost everyone's information is well known, so Luo Qing's withdrawal surprised countless people.
Luo Qing's abandonment only shocked and angered the Chu family. Just as Long Chen had predicted, Chu Gan had been defeated, and their current target was Luo Qing—they wanted to kill him on the arena.
But when they were ready, they punched the cotton. The Chu family immediately retorted, but Long Chen and the others ignored them.
Soon, it was the others' turn to join the battle. Everyone else passed smoothly, but Lu Mingxuan was unlucky and encountered a very strong opponent. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't win, and the opponent showed mercy. Lu Mingxuan had no choice but to admit defeat. Upon returning, he was immediately gloomy and in a very bad mood. Luo Bing and Luo Ning quickly tried to comfort him kindly.
Fortunately, Lu Mingxuan was cheerful and came just to have fun this time, with no intention of ranking at all. After feeling down for a while, he returned to his original state.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
Just then, Long Chen and the others' nameplates lit up. Everyone smiled with delight—they had all entered the top 500, and today's competition was over for them.
However, there are still quite a few who need fierce battles, because today's competition has 512 finalists.
Long Chen and the others making the list would be recognized by the arena, while those who weren't recognized would have to continue competing fiercely for the right to enter the finals.
Currently, on Long Chen's side, only he, Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, Changchuan Gongzi, and Luo Xue made it to the top 512; the rest had all been eliminated.
Fortunately, aside from Luo Qing, being eliminated was all to be expected. After all, there were too many strong fighters here. Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, and the others had already prepared themselves. Having reached this point, they were already very satisfied. They came here not to get rewards, but to broaden their horizons.
Long Chen made it to the top 512, and as for the rest of the matches, he couldn't be bothered to watch and went straight back to his own residence.
Bai Shishi and the others still wanted to see how others would fight. After all, at this time, only the strong were left. They should observe more, learn more, and compare what they themselves have learned to gain great rewards.
After returning to his residence, Long Chen hid alone in his room, continuing to study the World-Destroying Lightning and Three-Flower Eyes. He hadn't figured out his own techniques, so studying others' techniques was something he wouldn't do such foolish things.
Today's battle with Chu Gan was his warm-up battle. With the divine ring's support, he unleashed his physical strength at full speed, smoothly and with only part of the Dragon Scale power, he could suppress him, which gave Long Chen even more confidence.
However, Long Chen was determined to obtain the Golden Dragon Scale, and among the remaining 512 people, there was no weakling. He had to give his all without any carelessness.
Because only by obtaining the Golden Dragon Scale could his physical body improve again, and his divine fire power could be fully unleashed, no longer restricted. Now, despite all his strength, he couldn't use it. That feeling of frustration was unbearable.
While studying the World-Destroying Lightning and the Three Flower Pupils, Long Chen was also researching something—one that had been studying since ascending to the Immortal Realm, the Nine Heaven-Opening Techniques.
This combat skill, which had turned danger into safety countless times in the mortal realm, could not be used in the Immortal Realm because the laws of the two differed. The laws of the Tianwu Continent were incomplete, allowing the formation of the Heavenly Opening Movement with ease.
But the laws of the Immortal Realm are complete, and such will is not allowed to exist. Long Chen tried countless times but could not use it, and despite being injured countless times, he never gave up.
Recently, in the Divine Dao Scripture Pavilion, after reading many ancient texts, he finally developed several seemingly feasible methods and was carefully considering them. If the Nine Techniques of Opening Heaven could shine brilliantly in the Immortal Realm, perhaps even the old man would laugh heartily in the afterlife.
This is also why Long Chen never gave up. The Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening were not only a combat skill, but also an unforgettable memory for him.
The next day, everyone gathered again on the viewing platform. As Long Chen arrived, countless sharp eyes shot toward him.
